State Champs Head Out on Tour After Premiering New Video for ‘Criminal’ (About a 5th-Generation iPod)

State Champs took us back to 2005 last year with their music video for “Dead and Gone,” and now the pop-punk band is taking us back one more time for “Criminal”, the latest installment to the cursed iPod story.

The “Criminal” music video, which premiered with Billboard last week, follows a guy on a search for a 5th generation iPod classic from different Craigslist listings. His search puts him through 8 different situations lead by the same Craigslist seller/scammer. She is the obvious criminal in the music video, but metaphorically her role plays to the lyrics of the song.

“Criminal” comes from the band’s third studio album, Living Proof, which was released via Pure Noise Records last summer. Living Proof sticks to State Champs native pop punk roots in this honest emotional album.

In a press release, bassist Ryan Scott Graham shares, “Miguel Barbosa had a great vision to expand on our idea of developing a series of interconnected videos for this album cycle, this of course being a prequel of sorts to the video for Dead and Gone. We had a lot of people asking about the meaning of it all, but we’re not ready to divulge that information yet! Just watch the video and enjoy.”

Here’s the “Dead and Gone” clip, for reference:

In addition to the release of the music video, the five-piece New York band planned to give away the iPod Classic featured in the video loaded with the band’s songs and other favorites.
